We have some very interesting events. We are working now to figure out how to convince the world that they are real. The tough one is eliminating a possible head on meteor that happens to line up with the subject star. We should be able to eliminate these by using two Mark IV's in different locations. The ball park rate is one event per star year of observation. Do you happen to know how to contact Schaefer? I have tried to contact the e-mail in his papers with no success.
